Prosthetic rehabilitation of an oro-cutaneous mid-facial defect patient with an adhesive retained silicone prosthesis: A Case report
Abstract
Mid-facial defect causes immense disfigurement of the facial features and poses a great challenge to the practitioner to reinstate the normal form and aesthetics of the patient. An adequate prosthesis can restore the patients’ self-esteem and confidence thus improving their quality of life. Hence, the present case report describes the rehabilitation of an orocutaneous mid-facial defect patient with an adhesive retained Silicone prosthesis in a 55-year-old female patient. The primary prosthesis was fabricated using Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone material after proper shade matching with patient’s skin and using intrinsic colors that was finally retained on patient’s face using water-based tissue adhesive. The final outcome of the procedure was well-accepted by the patient.
